THERE IS MORE TO LIFE.
When you think about taking a break in your career, you may think about travelling the world, taking up a new hobby or even furthering your education. Have you ever thought about helping the most vulnerable?
I am talking about serving others smack in the middle of the most fruitful time of your life. It can be a challenge, especially when it is a break in the norm of your day to day living.
Supporting the vision of others is very fulfilling as you not only get to do something meaningful, it also broadens your perspective and widens your experience of life.
As a child, I grew up in London, but as I grew older had the fortunate experience of living in Africa for fifteen years… My experience in Africa was and still is unforgettable. My time in Africa makes up a major layer of who I am as a person.
In my mid twenties, I returned to England, but not London, to the suburbs where I experienced the stark difference between living in London and life outside of London.
My career break has given me the experience of living in England in its true colours. From the North West to the South East of England, I have spent time with people from different classes of society, helping and supporting vulnerable people, in the best way I can.
Overall, it has been very rewarding, an eye opener, in fact, I would like to say, life changing.
There is much more to life, if you give life a chance… Why not do something life changing today. Do something positive in the life of others, irrespective of their social standing or background.
